Thanks for pointing that out. I was only thinking about the entertainment value of having Monique back on Potomac, but I would imagine that the last thing on earth she wants to do right now is dip her toe in that nest of vipers. She'd have literally one person (Karen) in her corner, and the GEBs would be cackling over her divorce and spreading cheating rumors. So, yes, establishing a new co-parenting system for her 3 kids and adjusting to a new life must be her priority now. 

I would love her on RHUGT. Monique can be prickly and puts up a wall to get to know her, but once the wall comes down, it could engender some cross-RH friendships.

 

I know little about the NBA. I do wonder if the budget KKW bot will feature Marcus a lot this season. She's been hiding him the last two seasons, and neither he nor his family seem to want him anywhere near a RH franchise.

I feel like Monique is the missing piece that RHOP's core cast does not want, but needs, to acknowledge. 

But as Cheap pointed out, this may not be the right time for her personally to enter that gladiatorial arena.

I just feel like everything that has occurred in the past couple of seasons still leads back to Monique/Candiace's situation. Until that matter is addressed, it'll remain an albatross over the show. 

 

And the only people that don't want Monique back would be Gizzard, Poorbyn, and Cryangle. Monique is still friends with Karen and Ashley. She has had friend interactions with Mia in the past on social media. And Wendy (sadly) is in a position where she cannot afford to want to ice out anyone else as she's constantly on an island. Then we have to factor in Nneka--the newest housewife.

Good point.

And ITA that without having meaningfully resolved S5 and Monique's banishment (by the EP as well as the GEBs), RHOP has been in a long rut and cannot move forward properly. 

The only stumbling blocks to her return has got to be Candiace, and Gizelle's corrosive jealousy. 

 

ETA: Speaking of Gizelle.... I kind of feel for her here, not going to lie.

RHOC

How was Taylor not made into a full-time HW? We got her bisexuality reveal (a secret well kept all these years) and she has strongly activated Heather to lean into her most performatively outraged. Just like Kyle with her (totally unfounded) martyr complex, outrage is Heather's happy place. Last year, her arguing skills were sorely under-utilized, but Taylor has brought back Prosecutor Dubrow's golden tongue.

That, plus the amazing amount of flashbacks in the episode, solidifies my feeling that OC is harking back to its glory years. I am loving it, even if the ratings are meh.

Meanwhile, Jenn continues to change her story on philandering Ryan (how is this guy getting the chicks? I honestly do not understand it. He is no Frankie Catania Jr), and Tamra continues to throw friend and foe under the bus every chance she gets. Like I said, this is classic OC, and an added bonus, it's not painfully dark.

Awwwww. Yeah, it's been a hectic and dramatic birth month on this end. And I'm still dealing with the fallout, but slowly getting back to my scheduled programming. hehe. I still haven't started NJ (or this season of OC or finished FAMILY KRAMA, BELOW DECK, BELOW DECK: SY), but I've been getting around. It's good to see OC seems like it's been good so far and Tamra is Tamra-ing. And IKR...after finishing OC last season, I actually am liking Emily...outside of Gina. 

 

Yes on RHOM. They have done such a great job of keeping things under wraps in terms of Season 6. And ice out where??? Cuz Alexia and Marysol are STILL filming with (and even sitting around) Adriana. I have adored all the pictures I've seen of Adriana (with her dark hair back yesss) in Mexico City. I love that she's running with the platform and using it to her advantage. And I HAVE!!! With some of BH and RHOA trips when they are going down and you get pictures fast. Or RHOP in Miami when the drink toss happened or...the FIGHT. lol. Speaking of...I like that BH has also been keeping things under wraps as well. 

 

Count me in on Monique back on RHOP. But now probably is not the right time. Perhaps as a cameo at the end of the current season a la Kenya at the end of Season 11?

If Larsa thinks she's going to get half of another player's retirement portfolio, she's got another thing coming. As soon as Michael Jordan heard she was suing Pippen for 50%, he likely got Marcus's money locked in trusts. He understands exactly who and what he is dealing with.

 

@Taoboi I don't know if you've heard the BH gossip which has emerged recently on Twitter. And nope, its not Mauricio & Dorit.

Now, I personally believe this is all wishful thinking on the part of a BH fan which somehow went viral. But eagle-eyed Insta followers noticed that Kyle hasnt posted lovey-dovey Mauricio content in some time. Instead, she has been posting a lot of pics of a new best friend -- Morgan Wade. Who looks a lot like Teddi with tattoos.

The speculation is that Kyle and MW are an item and that the Umansky marriage is quietly no more. Unfortunately, BH finished filming some time ago, and the fact that we have heard zzipabout the season leads me to believe that this rumor doing the rounds will not be featuring. Shame! An escándalo as big as this would already have been leaked by a Bravo producer, IMO. Nevertheless, I am enjoying the fanfic vibe and the TIkTok Jessica Fletchers of it all.

    • I feel like the show has been like this for the past 15 or more years, IMO. Things happen but there are never or RARELY any long-term impacts. Instead, everything (characters, history) is just reset to what it was before. In a couple of months, Hope will be working at Forrester again. No one will ever mention the takeover. Brooke and Ridge will be back together for the millionth time, etc etc.  It's hard to get invested in a story when you know this is how the show works.
    • Martin and Smitty's kids not being there seemed like a glaring omission. Also, Naomi and Jacob weren't there as well. I know some of this is probably budget, but it seems like there could be a way to still have them all there.
    • Thanks so much for finding this & posting it. This makes me so angry!!!
    • Dani had a flashback of Dani getting ready for an event with Bill. The gown she wore in the flashback was light green and elegant and gorgeous. The light green flashback dress was quite different than the red/orange/lilac swirling print beaded gown that Dani is wearing to Nicole's anniversary party.   But there was clearly the show's intention to have the Dupree women (except for Nicole) wearing shades of red.   I love Anita but the red gown that she's wearing to the anniversary party -- not flattering.
    • I think you can find them here https://www.tumblr.com/tagged/OLTL What's there is recaps from SOD at the times it shows which is usually from way back up till 2003. Most if not all of this is due to Matt Smith who you may recall from his AW playlists on YoutTube. 
    • Party wardrobe color theme: Good Queen Nicole is in a solid gold gown. The other Dupree women (plus Smitty) are wearing shades of red/pink (with purple accents) -- Anita, Dani, Chelsea, Kat, in dresses. -- Smitty in white shirt and maroon jacket. (did not see Naomi?) "The help" Eva and Mona are in black. Antagonist queen Leslie/Dana in a black/gold gown. The men (except for Smitty) are wearing black. Ted - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (Ted's jacket was shiny with back polka dots on black background) Vernon - black turtleneck, white dress shirt over it, black jacket (no tie). Andre - black T-shirt, gold chain, black jacket. Martin - black shirt, black tie, black jacket. Dr. Carlton Fitzgerald - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (did not see Jacob?) I didn't see Naomi and Jacob at the party, but perhaps they arrive later? The evening is not over yet.
    • Tate seems to love throwing punches now

      I enjoyed his scenes with Johnny. Both of their perspectives make perfect sense to me and are completely relatable. There’s no right or wrong person in this situation and I like that. LH  does pretty well when Tate is angry too, but I also liked the way that he comforted Johnny in the end. Days is finally remembering that they’re cousins. And, Johnny looked hot in the beginning   Btw, Johnny going to work for Xander? That could be interesting. And, also can cause some more animosity between him and EJ.  And again, Marlena/Belle were great. Scenes like theirs really seem to be commonplace under Paula/Jeanne and I couldn’t be happier that they are. It’s helps us get a much better understanding of these characters and why they do the things that they do and feel the way that they feel. Marlena supporting Belle was a bit of surprise, considering her insane reaction when she walked in on EJ and Belle, but I also feel that it’s totally in character for her, both as a psychiatrist and as Belle’s mother.  As for Sophia and Amy… I miss the first Sophia lol but I can’t help but think that Amy suddenly being so nice is foreshadowing of something. Either that, or Paula/Jeanne aren’t biased against her
    • @alwaysAMC Great mini-review as always.  That Gilly story is...certainly one I could not forget... I imagine a number of viewers were shocked with the temporary recast. It was revealed in the soap magazines, as was the news about Frank Beaty's breakdown, I think. I think Wolf had some statements or an interview at the time but very little. I wish someone could interview him. He did a good job under extremely tough circumstances.  For some reason I have a vague memory of him in the Marian getup but that's probably not right.  I'm glad you have appreciated the material with Susan after a shaky start. I always enjoyed her, and she was the only love interest I liked Nick with.
